AI Writes Code, AI Reviews It? Is That Silly?

Daksh, co-founder of Greptile, discovered that an AI code generation tool, Devin, was submitting more pull requests than any human engineer. This raises the intriguing question: should AI-generated code be reviewed by AI itself? While LLMs are stateless, each call is independent, this doesn't mean AI perfectly reviews its own code. AI-generated code, while boosting efficiency, may introduce bugs humans struggle to find. Research shows AI is more effective than humans at finding certain types of bugs, although its accuracy still needs improvement. Ultimately, the article argues that while not perfect, AI code review is more effective than humans at finding specific bug types introduced by AI itself.
